Parent and Family Programs

Hello Parents and Family Members!

Welcome to the Office of Parent and Family Programs website! Although the university experience is about your student and their education, we can't help but think about you and your needs as a parent and family member. For this reason, UCO has designed the Office of Parent and Family Programs. The goal of this office is to engage parents and families as members of the university community. The desires are to increase communication with parents and offer programs that benefit you and your student.

Through the Office of Parent and Family Programs, we host annual events such as, Parent Orientation, Parent & Family Weekend, and Spring Events. We also house the UCO Parent and Family Association, which has everyone talking. This organization serves as a backstage pass to the university, as you receive special event invitations, personal email reminders about campus deadlines, and monthly newsletters specifically designed for parent and family members of college students. Through this association, you have the opportunity to win and contribute to thousands of dollars in scholarship money for your student. The UCO Parent and Family Association is the number one communication source on campus for parents and family members, and you don't want to miss out in joining the network!

We are here for you and your student, and we want this to be enjoyable and personal experience for everyone involved. Please feel free to contact us on the Parent/Family Helpline or email us if there is anything we can do for you. Welcome to the Central family!
